Some stooge. Been runnin' things 'round here since 2000.

First Post Of Twenty-Ten

Oh, my old, old friend, my twenty-ten, pull me to your cold cheek again.

I think the big whoop-ti-do over in North Portland on New Years with Brainer and the Upsidedowns and the Sixers was a big success.  I didn’t go, I only attend white-tie masquerades now.  But my Facebook is flooded with pics of the party, like this one I just stole form Upsidedown Jsun.

A NEW YEAR!

Courtney Taylor-Taylor, the leader of this outfit, has a couple of new movie reviews on his page, Pork Chop Hill and Arsenic and Old Lace.

I only saw one movie in theaters over the break, Broken Embraces, and it was great.  I now have a free ticket, because the Regal Club Card has to pay off sometime, and I was going to use it to see, Nine, but I guess everyone says it’s terrible, so now I don’t know what to see.  (Not Avatar.)  Someone let me know if that Clooney flick with the girl from Rocket Science is any good.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you are in Portland this Thursday night, don’t go to some movie show, check out Logan Lynn at Doug Fir. He’s the coolest.

Later, twenty-tenners.

New Years Twenty Ten

If you’re like me, I’m so sorry. No, if you’re like me you have an affinity for New Years, like one-hundred times stronger than with The Christmas.  (Sacrilege.) Because no matter what, I’m always saying to myself “well, that was the worst year ever,” and for once I can just maybe look forward to something not so terrible.  And hey, I’m looking forward to people saying “Twenty-ten” – the thought of not having to hear “two-thousand-and-blah” ad infinitum, I’m pretty damned giddy about that.  Maybe I will even leave the Gothman Estate, go out and venture into the cloud of irresponsible drunkards one more time in observance of this turning of the decade.  Wouldn’t that be something?

Well, if there was any show that would bring out a zombie shut-in, the one cooked up for 31 DEC 09 would be it.

The Upsidedown
1776
DJs Rescue & Grassman

Give me a break.  The World Famous Kenton Club in North Portland will be packed.  Don’t dress like a bum, and maybe take it easy with the sauce.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.

Caffe Vita Providing An Italian Touch

This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Caffe Vita will help us to celebrate a Fellini inspired Italian Holiday fete. Vita will be providing free espresso and *gelato affogato at the three (nearly) sold out shows.

*Vita will be providing free espresso at all three shows, and free gelato at the Seattle show. Staccatto Gelato will be selling Gelato at the Portland shows. Gelato Affogato = a scoop of gelato drowned in espresso.

Thirteen Degrees In Urban Bohemia

Listen, I know it’s cold. It’s awful and no one likes it, and anyone who says they do are just trying to be stylishly contrarian. Hey, I get, it, you want to be unique, but come on – cold is dumb.  Most of us will be delighted to find out that the weather wizards are plotting a warmer weekend. Forties?  That’s almost Mediterranean, segue, in time for our Italian Xmas Extravaganzas, or Extravaganzi?  What is the latin plural for Extravag?

Look, we are almost sold out of these tickets for admission to these shows, and I hate to think that you’re going to be shut out in sultry forty degree weather not wearing a coat.  It almost makes me sick!  Do not get shut out like all those people I refuse to text back the night of the show.  Get your tickets for Seattle (Friday 12/11 with Hawkeye) HERE.  Get your tickets for PDX (Saturday 12/12 with The Upsidedown – 21+, Sunday 12/13 with 1776 – all ages) HERE.

Sidebar, your honor:  The people would have you to know that an all ages show does not mean dry. If it pleases you to consume alcoholic beverages this Sunday at The Dandy Warhols all ages show with 1776, the Wonder Ballroom will be happy to serve those beverages to you with your proper legal identification.  Of-age and underage patrons are to be segregated so no funny business transpires.

See you at the shows.

Snippets for Friday, Dec 4th

I come to the Oddy today (always a big mistake) and the place is torn up because of some dumb remodeling. Because we live underwater in the Northwest, everything everywhere is damp all the time. That’s great for you skin, but pretty awful for carpets. When we had that flood in the Big Room (!!) it was decided to rip up the carpet in the Grey Room and take care of the water seepage-slash-mold problem there. BORING. Thor is in there right now, hammering something.  So you can see where recording would be prohibited just now. The band is rehearsing, though. Right now.  “Godless.”  The thing I am most displeased about is the coffee today. It is pretty weak.

Snippets:

ITEM. Aren’t you excited about these big Italian Christmas shows? I am! (Not sarcastic!) I will be working during the shows – showing movies with Scotty – but you will need a ticket to get in.   For Seattle, go here, and for the PDX shows, go here.  I really want to see 1776 on the 13th. I just did the art for their new album and I haven’t even seen them play live yet, that’s how dumb I am.

ITEM. A reminder about the Beat The World Guild Guitar Contest. This contest ends January 5th, so you had better go to the BTW site and sign up. Plus, Elliott told me last night that the guitar being given away is the same model Pete is using in the “I Dreamt Of Yes” video. Trivia!

ITEM. Court thought you should see the juxtaposition of Logan Lynn’s video “Bottom Your Way To The Top” on the Spike-TV site.

Be good.

Bike Rides Scheduled Before PDX Shows

Hey, remember that Dandys themed Pedalpalooza bike ride that Fatty and Zia took part in last June?  Well,  the organizers of that ride are doing it again next week before our “Natale Italiano” shows in Portland, December 12 and 13th.  Rides originate in SE at Col Summers Park and end up on Mississippi in North, not too far from Wonder Ballroom.  You should go, because you like fun things.

Hey Drummer Boy

Hey, remember this time?

And if you look over to your right (on the webpage, not in real life) you can listen to/download “Little Drummer Boy” via the widget and listen to it at least three or four times. Are you even too lazy to look to the right? Is that what you are telling me?  Fine, download it here.
